Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to formally include maritime trade unions formally in the Operation Zero declaration on shipping and offshore wind at COP26.

We are delighted that 29 organisations from across the offshore wind supply chain have thus far signed up to Operation Zero to accelerate the decarbonisation of this important and growing sector. We welcome the participation of further industry organisations, including maritime trade unions, as the initiative moves forward.
